Hi,
I was looking at your history site and came across a picture of Everton Brow with the lock up.
The reason I was browsing through your site was because years ago I purchased an original water colour by an artist I think is called F.Beattie. It was such a fascinating study of early victorian antiquity that I wanted to know more about where and when it was painted.
I purchased the painting in Plymouth Devon, which is where I live, for the frame to use on another picture as the painting is faded and in poor condition. However I became fascinated with the picture as it was so old and being original , I had to know more.
It is of the place you call Brow side and depicts the little building I now know is called the lock up and Mrs Coopers Toffee shop in a row of 15th century cottages,.
I have found out about the toffee shop and it's connections to your Everton Football Club etc. This is how I traced your site.
I have enclosed a couple of digital images for your interest but I want to know more about the artist.
I love the mix of industrial Revolution England with the remenants of 15th to early 19th century life. All in one picture.
Enjoy
